Sting's SummerSlam Surprise

SummerSlam is WWE’s biggest event of the summer and its second biggest event of the year behind Wrestlemania. With this year’s edition being extended to four hours, one has to expect it be at the same level if not better than Wrestlemania. The card is shaping up nicely with matches that should be entertaining to watch but one match stands out from the rest. That bout, of course, is the Wrestlemania 30 rematch between the beast and the phenom.

Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker are set to square off in the main event of SummerSlam and while it looks great on paper, I can’t help but worry that this match will drag like their bout at Wrestlemania 30 did. The only thing memorable about their encounter at the 2014 edition of the showcase of the immortals was the jaw dropping finish in which Lesnar ended the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. So how can WWE salvage the match that is going to headline their second biggest event of the year? Enter Sting.

The vigilante has not been seen since Wrestlemania 31 after he was defeated by Triple H. What better way to reintroduce Sting to the WWE universe by having him interfere in the SummerSlam main event and cost the dead man the match? This is how I would book the ending of the bout.

After a grueling battle between the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar, the phenom has gained the upper hand and is about to tombstone the beast and claim the retribution that he has been so desperately craving since Wrestlemania 30. The Undertaker picks up Lesnar and slams his skull into the mat. As the dead man crosses the arms of the beast in rest in piece fashion for the pin, the lights go out as the cry of a crow echoes throughout the arena.

When the lights turn back on, the Undertaker is standing across the ring from the baseball bat-wielding vigilante. The crowd is roaring in shock and excitement as two of the biggest names in wrestling share the same ring for the first time in history. Then Sting makes his move. He swings for the fences and misses, allowing the phenom to pick up the vigilante in preparation for the tombstone. Before he can deliver the blow though, Sting manages to reverse the signature move of the dead man into a scorpion death drop. The vigilante connects and stands up and surveys the carnage in the ring. The lights go out and the cry of the crow echoes throughout the arena as Sting disappears.

When the lights turn back on, Lesnar, having recovered from the tombstone, staggers over to the Undertaker, picks up the limp body of the phenom, and delivers an F5 to the dead man for the pin and the win. This makes the Undertaker look strong in defeat, allows Lesnar to still remain undefeated since 2013, and more importantly, it sets up the long awaited dream match between Sting and the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32.

That is how I would book the ending to the SummerSlam main event. It has shock value, violence, and it tells an intriguing story that will culminate in the biggest dream match in wrestling history. Hopefully this prediction I have for SummerSlam is correct and proves to be more than fantasy booking on my part!
